Ahead of tonight’s Oscar ceremony, Spinoff’s Anna Pinkert imagines what the nominees for best picture might have looked like over the past five years if the Academy actually embraced science fiction and fantasy.
Artist Brendan McCarthy talks about similarities between Waterworld and his 1983 comic “Freakwave,” how they led to him co-writing and designing the upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road, and his possible influence on Inception.
Watching the latest “Everything Is A Remix” video the other day, I realized that we’re probably due for another Matrix sometime soon. By that, I don’t mean another installment of the Wachowski brothers’ uber-successful sci-fi series – I think we’re all done with that one, at least for awhile, right? – but another movie that seems to realign people’s sensibilities about genre cinema, and what it’s there for.
The historical drama walked away with four trophies at last night’s 83rd Academy Awards, with wins for best picture, best director, best actor and best original screenplay. Inception also won four awards, all in technical categories.
Oscar winners can be hard to predict, depending on the whims of the Academy and political maneuvering as much as anything else. But what happens when you introduce box office take into the running? Here are what would take home the trophies if it were purely based on money.
Christopher Nolan’s sci-fi thriller and Frank Darabont’s horror comic adaptation topped the film and television fields in the nominations for the 37th annual Saturn Awards.
The King’s Speech scores a whopping 14 nominations for the 2011 British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards.
The end of the year is almost upon us, which means it’s time to reflect some. Let’s start with a simple one, shall we? What’s your pick for the best movie of the year? Click through and share some thoughts.
This year looks set to be the first in four years not to break records in terms of box office receipts, despite price hikes for IMAX and 3D movies. How did this happen – and what can be done to make sure it doesn’t happen again next year?
It happened for The Matrix, and now it’s going to happen for Christopher Nolan’s Inception as well: A critically-acclaimed science fiction movie gets to continue as a video game.
If last week’s Inception parody on South Park seemed a little familiar, it could be because you’d already seen parts of it online; the creators of the Comedy Central show have apologized for accidentally stealing lines from a viral video.
Even in light of the sizable hole created by the South Park gang in “Insheeption,” there’s still no denying that people remain bowled over by Christopher Nolan’s Inception. And some of those people include the folks at Warner Bros., who are reportedly interested in expanding the Inception brand with sequels.
